Expected availability is 31st April 2011:

Dell store indicates that the shipping date for the Intel® Core™ i5-2520M (2.50GHz, 3M cache) with Turbo BoostTechnology 2.0 with 250GB/2GB is: Preliminary Ship Date: Expected to ship from 4/15/2011 edit: this date slipped from 15th to 21st April and item has now been removed from the catalogue now down as being available from 31st April

It's interesting as one thing that was putting me off was the handle on it and that is optional and costs an extra 50 dollars...

Another point some specialist sites had got the memory specs wrong providing incorrect data on the max being 4GB. The specifications on the Dell store indicate that there are 2 slots that can each take up to 4GB meaning that the maximum memory like with the Dell E6410 ATG is also 8GB of memory maximum.
The notebooks site got this correct with a full set of specifications here.

The official Dell specs can be found here (PDF)

Hoping it will be available soon in Europe... 🙂

Edit: for those looking for the E6420, the non-ATG model starts at $1,040, Intel® Core™ i3-2310M (2.10GHz, 3M cache), Dell E6420. In France this is going for 949€ (228€ reduction, down from 1177€)
And the E6520 model starts at $1,090 Intel® Core™ i3-2310M (2.10GHz, 3M cache) : Dell E6520
The 5520 starts at $949, Intel® Core™ i3-2310M (2.10GHz, 3M cache): Dell E5520

  1. Hey nice catch. I was wondering when the price and availability for the new one was coming out. I wan't sure about getting the e6410 as I didn't know when Dell would be. At least I know now so I think I'll wait 🙂
    Agree about the handle can't see myself using that one

The ONHT Framework for Intermediate users

This Intermediate Guide for the ONHT (Objective, Needs, How, Trajectory) Framework transforms you from someone who uses GenAI into someone who thinks with GenAI by adding the missing cognitive functions that current GenAI lacks. The framework works through three critical pillars – Empathy (understanding all stakeholders), Critical Thinking (challenging assumptions), and Human in the Loop (active partnership). Master these patterns and you'll be solving complex problems others can't even approach, becoming indispensable by designing interactions that produce exceptional results rather than just functional outputs.

The ONHT Framework: Beginners Guide

Stop getting generic AI responses. Learn the four-letter framework that transforms vague requests into precise results. The ONHT framework: Objective (what problem you're solving), Needs (key information that matters), How (the thinking approach), and Trajectory (clear steps to the answer), teaches you to think WITH AI, not through it, turning "analyse customer feedback" into board-ready insights. Real examples show how adding context and structure gets you from Level 1 basics to Level 3 mastery, where AI delivers exactly what you need.
The difference? Knowing how to ask.

The ONHT Framework: GenAI Prompting Solutions That Actually Work for People

GenAI tools are transforming work, but most people get poor results because they don't understand how to communicate with AI built on structured data. This guide is a series of articles that teaches the ONHT framework—a systematic approach to prompting that transforms vague requests into exceptional outputs by focusing on Objectives (what problem), Needs (what information), How (thinking approach), and Trajectory (path to solution). Master this framework and develop an expert mindset grounded in human-in-the-loop thinking, critical analysis, and empathy, and you'll excel with any AI tool, at any company, in any role.

The reliability & accuracy of GenAI

I question the reliability and accuracy of Generative AI (GenAI) in enterprise scenarios, particularly when faced with adversarial questions, highlighting that current Large Language Models (LLMs) may be data-rich but lack in reasoning and causality. I would call for a more balanced approach to AI adoption in cases of assisting users, requiring supervision, and the need for better LLM models that can be trusted, learn, and reason.
